Request for Proposal: Buyer's Guide Technical Consultant

The purpose of this RFP is to seek proposals from qualified individuals or firms with subject matter expertise who can perform an environmental scan of existing technical and commercial standards for the trade as sale of rendered and repurposed animal and feed products and draw from that information to update existing information and develop new resources to be compiled into a new information manual. The candidate must demonstrate technical and commercial expertise in the rendering industry, familiarity with existing trade flows, and a deep understanding of the relevant supply chain stakeholders. Once data and information gaps and opportunities are identified, the contractor will close the data/information gaps based on his/her/their own industry knowledge, with only guiding principles and scope of work input from NARA staff and members. Contractor(s) must have the ability to work independently and curate and/or author reference material that is currently relevant and necessary for international buyers to have about rendered animal products. The information will be compiled into a written document(s) that will be published and hosted on a web-based educational platform and smartphone application. The buyer’s guide will be a resource to help facilitate trade between U.S. exporters and international buyers of rendered and repurposed food and feed products. The guide will be featured alongside additional educational resources developed by NARA and partner organizations to assist international buyers and their supply chain partners.
